Design patterns: Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs)http://ontologydesignpatterns.org [1]} are modeling solutions to recurrent ontology design problems. ODPs can be divided into multiple categories: logical, architectural, content, presentation [2]}.
In our case study, we used three ontology design patterns (implemented in the context of ArCo project [3]}). The first, Time-Indexed Typed Location, represents the locations of an object (e.g. a cultural property) in specific time intervals and with specific purposes (e.g. storage, exposition). It specializes Time-Indexed Situation, a pattern to represent situations that have an explicit time parameter. The second, Measurement Collection, represents a collection of measures. It is a specialization of pattern Collection, to represents collections and their members. Last, Cultural Property Component Of represents a cultural property and its components and specializes Part Of, a pattern to represent entities and their parts.
